Nobody tells a narrative via music quite like George Strait, and Calling From The Car offers further evidence of why he is still the King of Country. This song, a sincere meditation on love, distance, and the little moments that truly count, is taken from his most recent album Cowboys And Dreamers.
Strait captures a man on the road with his distinctive smooth voice and laid back melody trying to contact someone he loves. It reminds us that even the littlest gestures, including a fast phone call, have great value. The lyrics have an intimate quality, as if one were eavesdropping on a private moment between two people who are attempting to remain connected despite the great distance between them. Strait presents it in his own unique manner; it is a typical country narrative.
